Hebrew term or phrase: Yod Resh or Yod Vav
I converted to Judaism when I was eighteen (I'm 21) and I have been having dreams about being in a temple with my current boyfriend (who was born Jewish) and this word combination was upon the arch of the temple. I have only begun to get a handle on my Hebrew and I cannot find any meaning in this combination. Can anyone enlighten me?
